Forward Deployed Software Engineer at Forgis - Zurich-based industrial AI startup

You will embed directly with Fortune 500 manufacturers to deploy a unified "factory brain" that orchestrates disconnected machines. By bridging low-level industrial protocols with cutting-edge AI, you will solve complex automation challenges on the production floor, transforming raw data into real-time optimizations, predictive maintenance, and autonomous digital engineering agents that revolutionize Western manufacturing.

• Embed at customer sites to identify production bottlenecks and design bespoke AI solutions for real-world industrial environments.
• Build and maintain robust data pipelines and systems-level integrations using C++, Python, and industrial protocols like MQTT/OPC-UA.
• Quantify impact by measuring throughput and error reduction, iterating rapidly on models to ensure 24/7 reliability in production.

• Holds an MSc from a top-tier university such as ETH, TUM, or Oxbridge with a strong background in software engineering.
• Possesses deep technical proficiency in Python, C++ (ONNX), and AI/ML deployment, ideally with experience finetuning LLMs via Hugging Face.
• Demonstrates high agency and adaptability, thriving in a high-intensity startup environment where results and hardware-software integration are paramount.

• Exceptional traction with $4.5M raised in just 36 hours and a founding team from ETH, Google, and IBM Research.
• Direct access to a world-class mentorship network including Arduino founder Massimo Banzi and high-equity ownership up to 1.5%.
• Unique "hackerhouse" culture in Zurich with a fully equipped robotics workshop for rapid physical prototyping and experimentation.
